what about those dragster funny cars? seems they have a heavy shell and some cast metal inside for the engine.

Yes actually those are solid metal castings. They really fly down the race track. Below are the fastest from my sons collection.Originally Posted by BlitzWing

The 3 drag cars followed by the Tail Dragger and believe it or not that Mini Cooper is solid metal too and runs pretty fast!!
So last week I was talking with one of my friends that I used to look for treasure hunts with back in '98 ~ 2004. We used to hit Walmarts at 1am after I got outta work back then. Anyhow he collected a lot of stuff and he told me he wanted to thin out his collection via a garage sale. I asked him if I could take a look at his stuff to cherry pick what I wanted before he sells it all.
Of course he says yes and I meet up with him at his storage unit. All his stuff is in climate controlled storage so I am sure everything is well preserved. This only half his stuff as he has twice as much at his house.
Open the flood gates. Updates to follow soon.......

Cool, if you flip the card over you will see those two are in the "Then & Now" series. Those 2 have been long gone off the shelves here for a while. Must not be many import car fans that like diecast cars in your area.
Yeah the two targets we go to are redneck targets. But they've been hit hard and not gotten new ones in a long time. These were at the bottom of a small bin on an end cap.

Here is what I got from my friends stash.
He has a ton of Corvettes. So I grabbed these in case AO wanted them.
These are all pretty hard to find now. Especially the "First Edition" cars!!

It really was!! And only a $1 each I kinda went crazy. I told him to hold the premium stuff for me until I can save up some money lol
A lot of these cars I missed out on as I totally stopped collecting in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 so there is a lot I'm missing. So to get all these picks for a $1 was just too cool. If you guys are looking for a specific car make let me know and next time I visit him I'll grab some for ya.
Here are some BMW Z3.

I don't know what you're seeing, because I've never used tapatalk. But I can tell you that your photos are the same size as before, now they're just images instead of links, which is actually great. Clicking back and forth in my browser is kind of annoying. It's the worst when people don't even space out the links, then I'm just sitting here reading a block like this, trying to figure out where one image starts and ends.
